"We talk too much. We should..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Everything transitory is but an image.”

“If the word is not dead when it reaches the hearer, he murders it at once by a contradiction, a stipulation, a condition, a digression, an interruption, and all the thousand tricks of conversation.”

“He who does not expect a million readers should not write a line.”

“I wasn't saying whatever they're saying I was saying. I'm sorry I said it really. I never meant it to be a lousy anti-religious thing. I apologize if that will make you happy. I still don't know quite what I've done. I've tried to tell you what I did do but if you want me to apologize, if that will make you happy, then OK, I'm sorry.”

“Though tightly the net of words forms, how surely truth slips out.”

“Last words are for those fools who believe they have not yet said enough.”

“All action begins in rest... This is the ultimate truth.”

“I do. That is character!”

“We have used up all our inherited freedom, like the young bird the albumen in the egg. It is not an era of repose. If we would save our lives, we must fight for them.”
